When it comes to updating the appearance of your property, tired or faded uPVC windows and doors can drag down your home’s curb appeal. While full replacement might seem like the only option, UPVC spray painting offers a smarter, more affordable, and longer-lasting alternative.
At UPVC Spray Painters, we specialise in transforming existing windows and doors with a sleek, factory-like finish—without the cost or disruption of replacements. In this article, we explore why spray painting is the better choice for homeowners seeking stunning results on a budget.
Cost-Effective Home Transformation
Full window and door replacements can run into the thousands. Labour, removal, installation, and new fittings all add up. But with uPVC window spraying, you can modernise your home’s exterior at a fraction of the cost—often saving up to 75% compared to replacement.
Whether you’re refreshing a single front door or multiple fixtures across your property, spray painting offers real value without compromising on style.
Minimal Disruption and Faster Results
Replacement projects often take days, sometimes weeks. They involve noise, structural changes, and leaving parts of your home exposed during the installation.
In contrast, our spray painting process is fast, clean, and typically completed in just one to two days. No ripping out frames, no mess—just professional results with minimal disruption to your routine.
Extend the Lifespan of Existing Frames
Just because your uPVC looks weathered doesn’t mean it’s time to replace it. In many cases, the underlying structure is still strong and functional.
Spray painting rejuvenates faded and yellowed frames, giving them a durable new surface that protects against UV rays, moisture, and daily wear. Our specialist coatings extend the life of your uPVC by up to 10 years or more.
Endless Colour Options to Match Your Style
Unlike new fittings that come in limited factory colours, UPVC spray painting offers almost unlimited choice. From modern anthracite grey and bold matte black to subtle cream or forest green—you choose the shade that matches your home’s look.

Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Choice
Replacing uPVC results in large quantities of plastic waste—most of which ends up in landfill. Spray painting, on the other hand, reuses your existing frames, making it a significantly greener option.
Our paints are also low-VOC and environmentally friendly, helping reduce your carbon footprint while giving your home a fresh, modern edge.
Durable Finish That Lasts
Concerned about weather resistance? Don’t be. At UPVC Spray Painters, we use high-performance, specialist coatings designed specifically for uPVC surfaces. The result is a smooth, hard-wearing finish that’s UV stable, crack-resistant, and fade-proof.
Plus, our professional application ensures an even coat with no brush marks—just a flawless, satin-smooth appearance that rivals factory finishes.
Boosts Property Value and Curb Appeal
A well-maintained, visually appealing exterior can increase your home’s value and desirability. Spray-painted windows and doors can drastically enhance curb appeal, especially in a competitive housing market.
Whether you’re preparing to sell or simply want to fall in love with your home again, this simple upgrade makes a big impact.
No Planning Permission Required
In many conservation areas or listed properties, replacing windows and doors requires planning permission. Spray painting, however, typically doesn’t—because it doesn’t alter the structure.
That makes it the perfect solution for heritage properties or those looking to avoid legal red tape.
Factory-Quality Finish, Professionally Applied
DIY painting often leads to patchy finishes, streaks, or premature peeling. Our trained spray specialists use industry-grade equipment and apply paint in a controlled, even mist for a factory-quality finish.

Low Maintenance and Easy to Clean
Spray-painted uPVC is resistant to dirt, grime, and algae build-up. It’s also easy to maintain—just wipe with a damp cloth or use a mild detergent for a deeper clean.
The low-maintenance nature of spray-painted surfaces makes them ideal for busy homeowners who want lasting style without constant upkeep.
